I came to Lynne for the first time a few months ago after seeing a deal for the Goddess Facial on Groupon and I'm super glad I did. I've been going to Lynne every 5ish weeks since I first came to her and my skin has improved so much. Lynne knows exactly what she's doing and she's really good at it. On your first visit, she'll take a look at your face and learn about what sort of products your using so she knows what will be best to use during the facial. The Goddess Facial lasts about an hour and it's super relaxing, aside from the extractions which really can't be avoided. Lynne is as gentle as possible during the extractions and she's able to get so much gunk out of your pores. My face always looks SO clean the next day after the redness and swelling dies down. There's $2 parking with validation across the street at the structure next to Trader Joe's so make sure you give yourself extra time to park and walk over. read more

I wanted to write an honest review today for those who have been struggling with chronic acne for over half of their lives like I have. I came to Lynne as a last resort after trying everything in the book - Accutane, Proactive, every possible antibiotic, probiotics, various types of birth control, over the counter creams, lasers, peels, DIY treatments, changes in diet, you name it. At 28, I felt that my self esteem had completely plummeted as a result of my ongoing acne. I found that there were days where I couldn't wake up without a breakout. I was constantly searching for a better way to cover my breakouts and new technologies to help my issue. Was I covered in cysts all over my face, neck and back, like I had before I went on Accutane? No. But I would get painful cysts around my chin ALL the time, and would get them around my temples and they would easily turn a good day into a bad one. I felt a lot of shame around the fact that at my age, I would look around the room at work and realize that I was the only one with a face full of caked on makeup, when everyone else had clear and glowing skin. Or that I still had days where I could not leave my house because of the condition my face was in. My experience with Lynne was interesting, to say the least. She is a very sweet, informative and passionate esthetician, but unfortunately I did not feel that we were the best match. When I first contacted her with my story I stressed multiple times that I was not sure that I could afford her program. She does not take insurance as most medical practices do. Despite that, she made sure to reach out to me constantly, via phone, email, Yelp, etc. to coax me into booking an appointment, even after I had communicated that I am not sure that I could afford the appointment and will get back to her when I can. When I finally, out of desperation, decided to go through with the booking, she sent me a long text about a $1,000 acne boot camp, which surprised me, because I barely had scraped up the money to pay for my first facial and the products (roughly $380). I wasn't anywhere near ready to pay for a full set of sessions, especially without knowing what the results would be after a few days or a few weeks. When I saw Lynne she was polite and informative, although she did say something that threw me off a bit. She told me that my skin "wasn't what she expected," as if to say that it should have been SO much worse in relation to all of the suffering I had expressed to her. Acne is an incredibly sensitive, heart wrenching issue that so many young women and adults suffer from. It takes over your life. And I have had to deal with it every day since I was 12. Minimizing the issue communicates a lack of sensitivity in my opinion. No two clients are the same, but it doesn't mean that my skin doesn't affect me in the same ways that it does, let's say, a woman with cystic acne all over her face. I was that woman. Anyway, Lynne continued with her extractions, gave me the products and sent me home. The very next day I could tell that something was wrong. I had a red rash all over my face, tiny bumps and breakouts everywhere and cysts forming in places they never had before. As I am typing this I have one on my nose near my eyebrow and under my chin near my neck. Every day I have been waking up with terrible breakouts, 8 at a time, and every day my skin has gotten tighter, drier, and has experienced burning and sensitivity. Her response to me was that "it doesn't set off any red flags" and that I should continue the process. My skin was just undergoing a treatment that it had never been through before. Eight days later....all I can say is that I have never seen my skin produce such a terrible reaction in such a short amount of time, day after day. I knew that something was wrong, and went to see a dermatologist. She had told me that I developed an infection from the extractions, have reacted badly to the products, and she prescribed me a whole new line of products as well as antibiotics to get rid of the infection. After just ONE day of taking the doctors recommended products I can see a complete change in my skin. My smaller breakouts dried out in one night and my skin appears so much calmer. I highly recommend that those of you experiencing similar problems look into a product line called SkinMedica and consult a doctor before considering other options or experiencing adverse reactions. I would also suggest, if you are strapped financially, to highly consider the risks of any type of treatment plan like this, before putting down $1,000 for the bootcamp - you may not be happy with the results. read more

Found Lynn through the Face Reality folks because I was running low on products and couldn't reach my usual esthetician. Texted Lynn and she responded very promptly. I picked up what she had in stock today and will pick up the rest when they come in. I bought the new acne beta (?) toner that replaced the salicylic toner and a 8% mandelic serum for $52. Lynn gave me some really great advice about anti-aging products and promised to find out more from Face Reality to see what I could do so that my anti aging products don't reduce the anti acne product potency. Her space in located inside the Phenix Salon which was a little confusing at first. I found some metered street parking which was cheaper than parking in the garage because I was only there for 30 minutes. I may end up switching over to Lynn because she's now closer to where I am than my other esthetician. She's super nice and explains things really well! read more

I think it's really important to support small businesses and I'm a small business owner myself. But I think the even more important thing here is that when you visit Lynne, you're getting the most excellent care and best service out there possible. Lynne is experienced and always has the best products, suggestions, and feedback for whatever service you're getting done. Visiting her means you're caring for your body and skin in the best way possible. Easy, convenient location and free parking with validation! See her right away. read more

I didn't put my review till now is because I thought everybody knows how wonderful Lynne is. She is not only a very experienced esthetician but also is very thoughtful and has a positive energy. I had an appointment with her one day when my day was miserable, I had such hard time to not to cry. I just told brief note to her before the session had started. All she did was give me comfort and positive perspective. She is not just a esthetician, she is such a giver. My skin? absolutely wonderful! clean, smooth, brightened and happy! You should try her hands and energy. read more

I'm an Esthetician also and I know waxing can be painful and uncomfortable specially a bikini wax ... I'm pregnant in 8 months and I went to see Lynne for a bikini wax , I had the best wax ever , no pain at all she made me feel so comfortable , her place it's very clean ... Love it!! Thank you so much Lynne !!! For sure I'll come back !!!!! read more

I have been going to Lynne for years now and I have nothing but amazing experiences. My skin was really problematic but through Lynne's gifted hands, I saw tremendous changes. She is always the first to know about great new products! She takes her time and work with you on your facial regimen. I couldn't believe how much progress my skin had ever since I met Lynne. I go to Lynne for most of my beauty needs. From facials to waxing, she's the go to expert every lady should see. As a bonus, she gives out of this world massages! Lynne has nothing but love in her heart and that radiates in everything she touches. I am glad I met her. read more

Got my wife a facial while we were in town for a visit. When I saw her afterwards she was radiant and glowing. She looked 10 years younger. She was all smiles and seemed super relaxed as if she had a full body message. My wife has a chronic illness and doesn't get to feel great often but she was a different person for the rest of that day. Smiles, laughing, wanted to go shopping (which for her is a chore). Thank you so much, Lynne, for the transformative process that you perform on people. It's more than a facial, it's a miracle! XOXOXO read more

I've been a long time client of Lynne's, because she's really conscientious and thorough, not to mention adorable. She thinks of anything and everything she can do to make the client's experience more enjoyable. Her place is full of love, because she put it together with all of her heart. You will never find a more devoted cosmetologist anywhere! read more

I've been going to Lynn for my waxing needs for about 3 years. She is amazing!!! Lynn is very gentle, sweet, and knowledgeable. I like that she's always in a positive mood and takes her time to create excellent results. The office is very cute, cozy, and serene. And it's easy to find parking in the structure next door. read more

Lynne is absolutely fantastic. My skin has been pretty wonky since I had a bad reaction to a cleanser, and Lynne has done a great job of making my skin look healthy again. She has a gentle, but effective, touch, and I love the products that she uses. I got the groupon for one of her goddess facials, and my face looked so much better afterwards that I decided to get several more. The best thing about her facials is that they give you this healthy, dewy glow that lasts-it was so noticeable that when my mom visited me a few days after she thought that I must have gotten something 'done' to my face! I'll definitely be staying with Lynne, and I plan on getting her facials before other important events because it makes my skin look amazing without makeup. read more

Best facial ever. I learned so much about my skin, and was soooooo relaxed!!! This is the best facial in LA by far.

Amazing amazing amazing!! Lynne is so sweet and such a joy to talk to. I'm so lucky she was able to squeeze me in last minute, I really needed it. This was unlike any facial I ever had, it was so informative and helpful. I loved literally all the products she used on my skin, I bought one but I wanted to buy them all. Great experience and I plan on going back soon! read more

I purchased a Brazilian wax from Living Social and was very pleased with my service. It was easy to book my appointment and I was very impressed that she texted me and provided very detailed parking information. The wax was as pain free as a Brazilian can be. I was really impressed she used 3 different waxes and was very thorough. I will spare you the details of the wax since it's my lady bits but Lynne was also kind enough to look at my skin since I expressed interest in getting a facial down the line. She asked me about my current skincare regime and products and made suggestions. I will definitely return for a facial in a month or so, 5 stars! read more

I've been going to lynne for 7 years and absolutely love her and her services. I have extremely sensitive eyes and when she waxes my eyebrows or does topical facial treatments she always makes me comfortable and I can tell really cares about the job she's doing as well as how I'm feeling. She really great at what she does and full of information. Wouldn't go to anyone else! read more

I have been trusting Lynne with my eyebrows (amongst other waxing needs), for nearly eight years, now. Her knowledge and years of experience leave you looking and feeling your best. There is truly no one else I trust with my brows! While other estheticians try to coax you into unnecessary products or treatments, Lynne provides you with honest suggestions, based on your skin's needs. Lynne is very conscious of different skin types and different sensitivity levels, and uses quality products to assure your skin receives the best treatment. In addition to her talent, Lynne has a genuine and friendly demeanor that puts you at easy, and reassures you that your hair and skin are in good hands. Lynne's location on Glendon Ave. is a bright, welcoming space, that is easy to get to and provides convenient parking (we all know how rewarding it is to find decent parking in LA!) What can I say? Lynne is the best and that's why I drive 25-30 minutes away from my neighborhood, just to get to her! There are a ton of places closer to me, but they don't have Lynne, therefore they don't have my business. read more

I know I don't go as often as I should, but when I do, I go to Lynne. I wouldn't go anywhere else. She's and amazing Esthetician and a better person. Bikini waxing can be nerve wracking, but Lynne makes me feel so comfortable, and does a fantastic job. I've had facials with Lynne too, which as an added bonus includes a bit of massage. It's perfectly yummy. Lynne is an angel. You won't have a better experience elsewhere. read more

Lynne is not only a skin-scientist but she has the compassion and kindness of a friend. When you're working with people's skin (and especially conditions that affect someone's physical beauty), you encounter not only skin problems, but the emotional weight and pain that accompanies it. I came to Lynne in September of 2016, after 2-3 years of recent skin issues, but a longer 20 year history of peri-oral dermatitis, acne, and eczema. My skin was breaking out in cystic acne every day, and I had tried EVERYTHING! Acutane twice, every single acne skin care line, natural treatments, jojoba oil, salt and sugar peels/scrubs, masks, laser, and chemical peels. Everything was making my skin worse Lynne immediately took the reins and between a series of masks, custom peels, and a combo of new PCA, Dermaquest, and Victoria Deann products, my skin has transformed! She was available via text after every treatment and would check in with me and track my skin photos for the progress. She celebrates the great skin days with me and is compassionate on the days when I've felt ugly and wanted to hide under the covers. She has given me Hope and the Experience of Beautiful Blemish-free skin! I still break out occasionally (especially when I cheat on my food intake - what you put in DOES affect your skin), but because of Lynne I'm more educated about my unique skin type and how my skin needs to be cared for. I recommend that anyone dealing with any skin issue (but especially) acne, see Lynne and invest in the long-haul...She and her methods...but more importantly YOU AND YOUR SKIN are WORTH IT! read more

My girlfriend of 10 months is a regular client of Lynne's and has been so for roughly 10 years so when she suggested I give Lynne a try for my facial needs I said "why not." For starters, Lynne is a very customer service oriented person. Her aim is to please and ensure the hapiness and comfort of her clients. She delivers in spades. I was there for The Gentleman's Facial and throughout the process she remained very informative of what she was using, what skin goals she had for me, and what to expect next. The vibe and energy was extremely friendly and relaxing. In the end my skin looked absolutely great. I had a nice, refreshed look and will be going there again. Also she uses retinol's, vitamin c, basically all the high end items you want to grace your face when shelling out $$ for a high end facial. Great experience. Highly recommended! read more

I came to Lynne after spending almost a year struggling to find an esthetician. I had used face reality before, and simply searched for a face reality esthetician through yelp, and decided to seek her help, especially based on her consistent 5 star reviews. My first meeting with her was wonderful. Lynne is amazing! We talked about my history with acne (I've literally had every kind possible for over 10 years, and it has been an ongoing struggle to manage), and I had one of the most soothing treatments I have ever experienced. Lynne immediately got me on a regimen and gave me everything I could possibly need. She is very understanding, patient and knowledgable. She has really helped my calm and manage my acne in only a few sessions and without excessive or invasive extractions. I recently relocated to northern California, and Lynne helped me find a face reality esthetician, and offered to continue long distance consultation, and has generally continued to be supportive of me and my goals for my facial acne. I miss her already! Highly recommend Lynne. She is an amazing esthetician who truly cares about her clients and gets excellent results. read more

I was really nervous getting my first facial with Lynne, as I had an AWFUL experience years ago in Boston. But I finally bought a groupon for a goddess facial, and went to see her. There is no words to describe how AMAZING Lynne made me feel! She was so attentive and personal, and made sure that I felt comfortable and happy the entire time. I truly came out of there a flawless goddess! Now I come to get a facial every ~6 weeks, and my skin has completely transformed. Lynne helped me find the right combination of products for me, and I couldn't be happier! This is the ONLY place you should go to for facial care; Lynne will treat you like a best friend, and you won't be disappointed. read more

What can I say.. Lynne is amazing! I purchased my groupon voucher for a goddess facial and it was the best thing I've ever done for my skin. She is really nice and she knows what she is doing. Usually my skin hurts and gets red during the whole treatment because it's super sensitive, this didn't happen with her. So not only she did an amazing job with my skin but she also told me what is my problem and what I should do for long term results. I will definitely go back again. read more

Wow...just Wow! Lynne is an absolute EXPERT in skin care. I have booked an appointment with her three times now (and I'm definitely still going to in the future) and I could not have been more satisfied with the service she provided. She gave me such good tips on how I can reduce my acne and they all helped me so much. The products that she uses are all natural & they really help cleanse and heal my skin. I have done other facials before but no one can even compare to Lynne. I definitely recommend visiting her!! She's awesome. read more

I have been going to Lynne for about a year now and I honestly couldn't say enough great things about her. Just like so many of her previous clients I was at the point where I had tried every possible product for my skin (Proactiv, Neutrogena, Clean & Clear- the list goes on...) but my acne persisted. I found this company through a recommendation from my sister and decided to set up an appointment. From the moment I met Lynne I could tell how incredibly knowledgeable she was. She gave so many helpful tips and suggestions not only about skincare but also about exercise, diet, and overall lifestyle choices that were not necessarily a requirement but would greatly help in the process. Lynne has never been pushy about how involved you are in her skin care program. Some clients see her on a weekly basis and some come in every 6 months, it is completely up to you and what you are comfortable with! Also to add to the list, she has always had great answers to all of my skincare questions and is easily accessible over text if you have any questions at home or in between sessions. The sessions usually last about 45 minutes - 1 hour, and Lynne is very flexible with scheduling these appointments. It is also important to know that skin care takes time, if you don't see results within the first week or month, that is (as Lynne will tell you) completely normal. I was worried about how well it would work but after just a few months my skin was looking the best it had been in years and only continues to get better. Lynne is the best, I truly owe it to her for substantially improving my confidence and my career, and would recommend her to anyone looking to clean up their skin! read more

Scheduled an appointment for a facial for both me and my boyfriend. It was a rewarding experience for the both of us. Lynne is not only kind and professional, but she has amazing customer service skills. She made both us feel very comfortable and relaxed the entire time. Lynne examined each of our skin's conditions and gave us both a personalized facial, depending on what our skins needed. Lynne is also very knowledgeable about skin care and offered us many helpful advises. We bought a few recommended products to complement our regular skin care routine. I plan to revisit Lynne and get more facials from her. read more

Amazing! I have a sensitive/oily skin and was looking for a good esthetician. Well, I found what I was looking for! She is great! Competent and soooo nice! I have been there already twice and can't wait for my next appointment. read more

Just moved to Westwood area and needed to find someone to do my brows. Lynne did such a fantastic, thorough job--better than anywhere I've gone in years. Will definitely be returning next month :) read more

Lynne is the absolute best. I've struggled with acne my entire life, but after six months of wearing facial prosthetics, my skin became so reactive I was in tears and pain almost every day. After seeing three different dermatologists and receiving three different diagnoses, they wanted to put me back on accutane as nothing was helping my skin. I finally went to see Lynne after hearing she was offering LED treatments with her Celluma (I thought my skin was too sensitive for a facial.) When I saw her, she immediately knew my skin barrier was just completely ruined from the prosthetics and the acne was a result. Lynne always prefaces that she's not a derm, but boy does this woman know skin!!! She put me under the Celluma and I have never felt more peaceful in my life. I've had two treatments over the past week and my skin is feeling and looking inordinately better. I've been using her lipid restoring cream and it's the best moisturizer I've ever used. Lynne also gave me the most gentle cleanser and toner that has taken such great care of my skin when all the derms suggested cetaphil which only left my skin stripped and in terrible pain. I trust Lynne with my skin more than anyone now and know that if I have an issue I need to see her first!!! She's the sweetest most patient woman I've ever met and I feel so safe and happy in her presence. I would give Lynne 10 stars on yelp if I could. This woman has changed my life in only 4 days. Everyone needs a visit with Lynne if they're in the Los Angeles area. I love you, Lynne! read more

This was not my first Facial with Lynn but definitely another reason she has me coming back for more. so sweet so pleasant and so patient. Attention to detail and always addressing concerns of my skin. Great products and thourogh applications leave you walking out of there a feeling ready for the Red Carpet. read more

Lynne was friendly, warm, and gentle -- three very important qualities when you're going bald down south. I've tried a few different places in Westwood and there are some cheap, dirty options out here. This was hands down the cleanest option and Lynne makes sure you feel comfortable during the process. She explains what she's doing and asks if you have any questions. read more

Recently opened spa/studio, but Lynne (owner) has years of experience and is WONDERFUL. I have been seeing Lynne regularly for the Dermaquest pumpkin peel/facial for over a year now and I am always happy with the results. I have struggled with acne for almost all 27 yrs of my life... until recently -- my skin is continually improving now and I owe so much of that to Lynne and her wonderful peels/facials, skin care advice, and product suggestions!! Highly recommend. read more

I have been seeing Lynn for many years for facials and massage. Not only do I get a wonderful facial and relaxing massage, but Lynn's soothing personality creates a very calming experience. read more

This is as good as it gets. Lynne is really experienced and makes the whole 30mins relaxing instead of uncomfortable and painful. She is very clean and thorough as well. Walk into the building where the hair salon is and make a right down the corridor and her suite is at the end of that hallway. I had a Brazilian wax done. read more

I Love love love GODDESS Lynne!!! I been going to Lynne for facials and waxing for about two years. She is amazing at what she does, totally professional and a master of her craft.Her facials are very relaxing and I always leave with my skin glowing! I recommend all my friends to come see her. Her lovely personality makes come back for more!!! read more

Absolutely amazing job! I needed to find a new place and was explaining when I walked in for my appointment my concerns based on a recent waxing at another salon and she put me to ease. Her salon is very clean and welcoming and my waxing was essentially painless for the job that was being done . I will definitely return I absolutely love her!!!! read more

Review is for the goddess facial (I struggle with acne). Brutal extractions -- Gave her 3 starts because I did love how kind and warm she was read more

I've been going to Lynn for almost 5 years now for waxing. First at her original location, and now at this new location, which I personally like a lot more. It's across the street from the Trader Joe's in Westwood and there's always plenty of easy parking. Easy in and out, no fuss. Aside from the ease of location, Lynn is fantastic. I feel confident referring anyone I know to her. She's careful, gentle, fast and thorough. I've been to a fair share of people for waxing, had some awful experiences, and some that were good, but she's really the best. Wouldn't want to go to anyone else, and I hope I don't ever have to. Also, as some people mentioned, she just plain NICE. Warm, friendly, sweet and always seems to have a mellow positive energy. read more

A soothing Brazilian wax?? Um, YES. Lynne is amazing. She really, really knows her stuff, and is basically the loveliest person ever. She does not rush, but manages to get it done quickly, and absolutely saved me from irritation & ingrowns with just a bit of expert advice. Heading over to her for my glycolic resurfacing facial in about an hour...and I can't wait. I know I'll come out GLOWING. She really is the best! read more

Love her energy and work! She's very professional yet sweet. She is thorough and this must've been the most painless waxing experience I've had. Got her deal through Amazon local I believe, but I will be a returning customer even after my vouchers are done. Easy parking and very private setting. Overall the most pleasant waxing experience you could have. read more

Lynne was super sweet! She used three different waxes on me and seemed to really know what she was doing. She was easy to talk to and the space was both clean and tranquil. Best part, I got to visit her on my lunch break! (talk about convenience) I will definitely visit her again! read more
